I must admit, I’m tickled pink. C. S. Lewis’ fantasy novels, “The Chronicles of Narnia,” is coming to the movie theaters on December 9th. I’m a huge fan, having read the entire series of seven books to my children several times. With their clamoring for “just once more!”. It is a story about the magical land of Narnia, ruled by Aslan, the Great Lion. And how four young children from our world (named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) come into that land via a magical Wardrobe to help rid Narnia of the evil White Witch. She has cast a spell of perpetual winter, but never Christmas, over the land.

(Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead ringtone)
Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead is one of the best-known songs from The Wizard of Oz — which, oddly enough doesn’t have any of the major characters singing in the number. Oddly enough, one of the voices dubbed for the Munchkins belongs to Pinto Colvig, the voice of Walt Disney’s Goofy, Popeye’s Bluto, and the original Bozo the Clown.Read More »Ding Dong!
